WD Purple 6TB Surveillance Hard Drive - Built for 24/7 Security Systems

The WD Purple WD64PURZ delivers reliable 6TB storage capacity engineered specifically for continuous surveillance recording. This 3.5-inch SATA III hard drive operates at 5400RPM with 256MB cache, providing transfer rates up to 175MB/s for smooth video capture and playback in DVR and NVR systems.

AllFrame Technology for Uninterrupted Recording

WD's exclusive AllFrame technology optimizes this drive for write-intensive, low bit-rate surveillance workloads. This reduces frame loss and improves overall video playback quality, ensuring critical footage is captured without interruption. The drive supports up to 64 single-stream HD cameras and handles up to 180TB per year workload rating - three times the capacity of standard desktop drives.

Engineered for Harsh Surveillance Environments

Unlike desktop drives designed for intermittent use, the WD Purple operates reliably in 24/7 always-on environments. Tarnish-resistant components withstand elevated heat fluctuations and equipment vibrations common in NVR setups. With an MTBF of up to 1 million hours and operating temperature range of 0°C to 65°C, this drive maintains performance in demanding conditions.

Wide System Compatibility

This surveillance-class storage integrates seamlessly with mainstream security systems. The drive supports configurations with up to 16 drive bays and is tested for compatibility across a wide range of industry-leading DVR and NVR enclosures and chipsets. CMR (Conventional Magnetic Recording) technology ensures consistent performance for video recording applications.
